And they rushed to help without knowing if the danger was over.
Awesome.

Reporting in...some may know I live in Boston. Alive & well.
glad to hear LLC. now I really hope they catch the fucker that did this
Glad you're safe LLC! Does anyone know if there was any truth to the NY Post article where they had a suspect that was possibly Saudi?
I really hate when these stories break and there is so much information. I know everyone wants to report the correct information but I've now heard confirmations and denials that the JFK fire was related. I've heard they have a veiled Saudi man in custody at the hospital. Then I heard that was just a rumor. If. If IF he is the person I will be surprised. I would think they would be keeping a lower profile when so many people in this country still suspect them. If a foreign agency wanted to bomb us you would think they would do whatever they possibly could to fit in and NOT look suspicious.
The post was spouting off some pretty crazy stuff early on (yet some of the news agencies decided to copy their info). I hate how when they find out they've reported something inaccuratly they just don't mention it again. No "Ok, sorry, to update what we said earlier" or " my bad. There aren't 25 people dead". BBC all the way for me.

Thanks for saying that. My eldest niece just told me that her husband's fam in Boston are fine. That was a relief. I've never met them but the ones is Georgia are the bestest folk. My thoughts and prayers to all the victims, their families, and those of you who have people up there.
So devastatingly sad, just heard that one of the dead was just a little boy
Being reported here in Boston... an 8 year old boy has died.

Why is the news having a five minute argument on why The President didn't use the word terrorism in his speech. Like anybody is going to be like "oh, thank god. It was just a couple of bombs that blew up and ruined a bunch of people's lives, but isn't terrorism because The President didn't say it was." Have we really become that stupid as a whole to give a care on what it's labeled when something like this happens.

CBS News reported earlier the injury toll is up to 86.
The bombing has also become a "worldwide investigation."
I really dislike humans sometimes.
Normal, innocent people aren't safe anywhere.
People including our major news media needs to lay their political affiliations to the wayside right now, and allow this nation to come together as a whole. Whomever did the bombing didn't go after blacks or whites, Democrats or Republicans... they went after PEOPLE, not just Americans, PEOPLE..But we all know that won't happen. People are people. They attacked Bush when he finished reading that book to those kids, and now they're attacking Obama for not using the word terrorist.
holy shit. look at the last pic on this site. holy hell *warning graphic*

Wonder who the bomber will be, a terrorist, an anti government nutter like Timothy McVeigh, or a deranged psycho like Adam Lanza or Seung-Hui-Cho? The possibilities are endless.
Checking in safe here from Boston. There are no words for what went on here today. All my thoughts are with those involved. So many injured and the news is saying that the death toll may rise as well. They are also saying that bombs were filled with ball bearings.
So sad.
I had heard the information about the ball bearings earlier. I can't even imagine that or other shrapnel being blasted towards me.
Glad to hear about those with family (and our communal family) are safe. I have some friends out that way, and one who was on a plane out there while this happened. They're all okay.
I wish the best to the victims, and their families. And may those who have perished because of this cowardly act, may you rest in peace.
My fiance son and I were right were the first bomb went off about a half hour before. His 18 year old sister ran the race for the first time this year. We decided to leave after he crossed because my son was getting tired. I can only imagine what would have happened to us had we stayed and what my poor 5 year old son would have seen had his aunt been just a little slower.
Thank you, my little family has already been through so much. Even though Kasey is only 5 we have almost lost him three times and I honestly thank God, my grandparents and my fiance's sister for finding a way for us to get out of there before everything. We were positioned behind a couple people under the UK flag (his family is British)
News conference going on right now. Saying 3 dead...
This seems to be a runner with one leg amputated (graphic):

The woman in the blue shirt looks deceased.
Here's some more photos along with a much more graphic version of the one above.

The little boy in the left hand top corner (EMT's gloved hand is on his shoulder) kills me.
I am hearing conflicting stories about a "blast" or an "unrelated" fire at the JFK Library. One report I read said police de-armed a bomb at the JFK Library and another report I heard was that it was an unrelated fire.

It just seems to be too much of a coincidence that a random fire would occur just after two bombs went off. What are the chances?
the guy with the leg...will probably make it. that girl....I don't think so.......I think she's gone.
so very sad....I had to turn it off.
I will check in later.

I know I'm a death hag but those photos with the pools of blood are disturbing to me.
Nothing but prayers and good thoughts to all the people of Boston, victims, and their families. I can't even begin to imagine what these poor people are going through at this time.
I would say the lady in blue is definitely gone.
The picture of that guy's severed legs made me gag.
Any thoughts on who's responsible yet? AlQueda maybe?
There are no words. Watching news right now, saying 3 dead, 141 injured. Just wow, I don't even know what to say.
